Started.with.sourdough

10/31/2025

Earlier this week I felt like trying something new and different. When I first started I kept hearing about but I didn’t get it, what’s it for, why is everyone talking about it, etc?!
So I took my favorite sourdough recipe and decided to just wing it! Here’s what I did 👇🏻

8pm mixed starter
8 am mixed my favorite sourdough bread recipe and left it to rise
After bulk fermentation (about 3 pm) I sprayed a 9x13 baking dish with avocado oil, placed the dough in the pan, covered it with foil and let it rest for an hour.

At 4 pm I added roasted garlic to the dough, chopped pepperoni, a light sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a light layer of pizza sauce.
This layer should be light to prevent it from getting soggy and not baking through.
With damp fingertips, take the top of the dough and fold it halfway down, then repeat with the bottom of the dough.
Ensure you press the dough together at the seam so it sticks. Gently dimple the dough, this will help the dough fit better in the pan and gives those beautiful bubbles that focaccia is known for.

Add remaining toppings :
Pizza sauce
more chopped pepperoni (chopped into 4ths so it was one bite and would fit in dimples)
As much cheese as your heart desires

Dimple gently and add more ingredients if you feel like it needs more.
Cover and let rest another hour or two.
My dough was resting on the stove that was pretty warm so at 5:30pm I preheated the oven to 425 F

Bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until the sides and top are golden brown

Let rest in pan 5 minutes and then remove, place on wood cutting board or wire rack and slice with a serrated bread knife and enjoy!

This was SO delicious, I have never seen a loaf of bread eaten so quickly haha. I have made pizza multiple different ways, but this… was probably my favorite.

Sauce, cheese, and pepperoni through each bite , crusty edges that are so soft, light and fluffy.

Add your favorite sauce and toppings and enjoy with your family! I 100% understand why Focaccia bread is so popular!

What’s your favorite way to eat it?

Real food goes BAD

You know that phrase “you are what you eat,” imagine what is happening when you eat food with all of those chemicals and preservatives.

I know it’s not always an option, affordability, time, etc. Do the best you can, but learn about what is in your food. Make changes where you can. Start small.
Homemade foods are not more expensive to make at home, they may take more time to get food on the table but it’s worth it in my opinion.

I have a friend who teaches Biology. She shared this with me tonight.

She's been trying to grow mold since Nov 24th for a lab experience in class next week.

That's our wheat bread with that beautiful mold!! Check out those other 2 bread slices. She said the Pepperidge farm feels like it just came out the oven and neither of them show one speck of mold!! 😱👀 Take note that Pepperidge farm is a grain/wheat bread, "the one they advertise as healthier."

Yall, it's almost 2 months. The level of perservatives/chemicals in that stuff is scary!! Real food molds.
